Effects of Collection Cup Preservative on Flight Intercept Trap Performance for Forest Insects

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1330-1340, December 2025.
Flight intercept traps are important tools for the monitoring and surveillance of forest Coleoptera. We investigated the comparative efficacy of three wet (saturated saltwater, propylene glycol, and soapy water) and one dry (dichlorvos strip) collection cup treatments on the capture of forest insects.

ANTAGONISME ANTARA KUMBANG AMBROSIA XYLEBORUS SP. DAN JAMUR BIRU YANG MENYERANG DOLOK TUSAM (PINUS MERKUSII)

Jurnal Penelitian Hasil Hutan (Journal of Forest Products Research), 2017
freshly  cut  logs of  tusam (Pinus merkusii) are very susceptible to the  infestation  of  the ambrosia beetle Xyleborus  sp.  and blue stain fungi.   An observation  showed that  both wood deteriorating organisms might infest a same log simultaneously,

Evaluating semiochemical‐based strategies for managing ambrosia beetles in apple orchards

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 697-706, November 2025.
Abstract Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have emerged as problematic pests in Michigan apple orchards, where their cryptic lifestyle complicates effective management. This study evaluated the efficacy of semiochemical‐based repellents in mitigating beetle infestations, focusing on two key invasive species: Xylosandrus germanus ...

Investigating bark, ambrosia and nitidulid beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytinae and Nitidulidae) communities and their potential role in the movement of Ceratocystis manginecans in commercial forestry plantations in Riau, Indonesia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 707-722, November 2025.
Beetles and beetle frass can harbour Ceratocystis propagules. The viability of the propagules and the ability of the beetles and/or beetle frass to spread C. manginecans requires further investigation. An interaction exists between infected trees and wood‐dwelling beetles, and this interaction differs between Acacia and Eucalyptus.

Spore Acquisition and Survival of Ambrosia Beetles Associated with the Laurel Wilt Pathogen in Avocados after Exposure to Entomopathogenic Fungi

Insects, 2018
Laurel wilt is a disease threatening the avocado industry in Florida. The causative agent of the disease is a fungus vectored by ambrosia beetles that bore into the trees.

Spatial Interpolation in Applied Insect Ecology: A Review, Including Guidelines and Datasets for Practical Use

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1319-1334, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

Biogeography and Social Family Structure Contribute to Cryptic Genomic Divergence in the Only Obligate Eusocial Beetle Species, Austroplatypus incompertus (Curculionidae: Platypodinae)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Eusociality in insects has arisen multiple times independently in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants), Blattodea (termites) and Coleoptera (beetles). In Hymenoptera and Blattodea, the evolution of eusociality led to species proliferation. In the hyperdiverse Coleoptera, obligate eusociality evolved only once, in the ancient Australian ambrosia ...

Sudden Occurrence and Harmfulness of Xyleborus dispar (Fabricius) on Pear

Contemporary Agriculture, 2016
Decline of pear trees in the region of Čačak (Serbia) is becoming a significant problem and a limiting factor in the production of this fruit species. This phenomenon may be due to the damages caused by xilophagous insects, representatives of the family ...

Artificial Selection of Early Emerging Helpers in the Cooperatively Breeding Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborinus saxesenii and Its Effects on Various Life History Traits and Their Fungal Symbionts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
In cooperative breeding societies, temporary groups of mature offspring are formed that assist in the rearing of additional brood before the offspring disperse and reproduce independently. It is hypothesized that the delayed dispersal period of helpers will determine the number of siblings that can be reared, thus resulting in an indirect fitness gain.

Redbay Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

EDIS, 2011
Ambrosia beetles are wood-degrading insects that live in nutritional symbiosis with ambrosia fungi. Usually we consider ambrosia beetles beneficial because they accelerate the decay of dead trees, which is important for nutrient cycling in healthy ...
